Vintage Pattern Giveaway from Prior Patterns!

Fun news today, readers! Etsy seller Prior Patterns is hosting a giveaway and discount for us this week. I got in touch with Sheila, the shop owner, after buying a cute dress pattern from her. Turns out she's a reader and wanted to do a little something for all of us. How sweet! Anyway, the prize is a $20 gift certificate to use in her shop (which is full of patterns from various eras). Enter by commenting here, making sure that your comment has a way for me to get in touch with you (linking to your blog, leaving an email address, etc.). You have til the end of the day on Friday to enter! All countries eligible.

Sheila is also giving us a coupon for 10% off your purchase in her shop, until the end of the year! Use the code 10GERTIE2013 when checking out. Here are a few beauties from Prior Patterns to inspire you:

A big thanks to Sheila for the giveaway and giveaway!P.S. As you can see, my blog re-design is underway! I love to get your feedback, just please keep in mind that it is a work in progress and some things are funky right now. Change is weird, right?

Awesome! Your stuff is so inspirational and helps me when I get stuck using older patterns. I am fairly new to sewing but have tons of experience with vintage and antique crochet patterns. Email: Kyriesutra@yahoo.com

Thank you both for the lovely giveaway! There are some wonderful patterns in there and my mind is now full of visions of new pretty frocks...Love the new page design so far as well!haroldthehappypengi at yahoo dot com

I like the new layout! I'm glad that you've kept a special page for your Vogue '52 project, too. I love looking at vintage patterns on Etsy, but hadn't stumbled upon Prior Patterns before. So many cute things to choose from! Thank you to Sheila (and to you!) for the giveaway.

Thanks for hosting the giveaway! I will hold my comments about the new layout until we see the final look as I know it is a work in progress. That is awesome that she is offering a discount for the whole year!! Yay!! :)

Wow, thanks for introducing me to this great shop! I certainly have more than my fair share of patterns but some of these are pretty hard to resist, very reasonably priced too. pa7oma(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)mx

Ooo... thanks for the heads up about Prior Patterns. Some lovely ones on there. Please count me in for that giveaway. Your site's looking really neat but missing a header? May well be that I'm viewing in Bloglovin'. But whatever it looks like you always have such great content, that's for sure! :-) www.ooobop.com

Love Vintage Patterns! Not only do they bring back a lot of memories for me, I love the clean lines and couture methods of sewing. No sergers back then. A young seamer can learn more from Vintage Patterns about techniques and line than from most modern schools and books!

I love you blog so much. I wish I could read all of the posts. I borrowed your book from our local library and then immediately went out and purchased it. I told my husband that I am going to make everything, (as soon as I figure out how to do a FBA for my nursing mama bosoms). I just want to say that your rock.

I would love to be able to reference all your detailed sew-along / tutorials in one easy click. For instance, when I was making my coat i was constantly looking for either your red dress or Earl Grey posts. Change is good! I'm looking forward to the new blog!

I'm a brand new fashion and textiles Uni student (first day was yesterday!) and swing dancer..and of course would love to have a vintage pattern from the 30's or 40's in my collection. Am blogging my student progress here:www.bravojack.comThanks Gertie and Sheila!Brenda-Jane
